In this episode, CEO coach Gene Hammett explores what it truly means to Be Intentional as a Leader, encouraging listeners to examine their leadership style and uncover the barriers limiting their growth. Drawing from his recent keynote at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement, he introduces a clear two-part framework for elevating leadership, recognizing current hindrances, and defining the aspirational traits that drive stronger performance. Gene emphasizes the power of proactive, self-aware leadership in building engaged, high-performing teams and shares practical tools and resources to support deeper self-discovery and more effective, intentional leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:04 The Importance of Self-Reflection 5:44 Defining Your Leadership Identity 6:59 Evolving as a Leader 8:17 The Power of Intentionality 9:40 Strategies for Effective Leadership Identify who you're being that limits your leadership. Most leaders fall into the same cycle: open the laptop, answer emails, run spreadsheets, jump into meetings, put out fires… and repeat. I've been there, and maybe you're stuck in that same loop, working hard, but not necessarily leading intentionally. So pause for a moment and ask yourself: What would it take for me to be a better leader? And even more importantly, why do I want to be a better leader? Is your team performing below its potential? Do decisions keep landing back on your plate? Are you feeling overwhelmed or burned out? If so, this episode is for you. Recently, I spoke at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement here in Atlanta. Their leaders were deeply committed to growing, and during that keynote, I shared one core idea: the power of intention in leadership. Here's a portion of that talk: "When you want to be a great leader, it doesn't happen by accident; it requires intention. You need the ability to shift with what's in front of you. Defining the leader you want to become may seem trivial or unnecessary, but it is foundational. Who are you being that gets in the way of being a better leader? And who do you want to become in the next level of yourself? You must be honest with yourself and claim the leader you're becoming." Are you scattered? Distracted? Overwhelmed? Too nice? Too empathetic? Too direct? These traits may not seem harmful, but when they're dialed too high, they create friction. Write them down on a 3×5 or 4×6 card, make it honest, uncomfortable, and real. This clarity helps you move away from what no longer serves your leadership. Define who you want to become. One of my clients captured this beautifully: Be decisive. Be focused. Be confident. Each week during our coaching sessions, we review how these traits showed up. This repetition creates accountability and reinforces their development. This is the work of intentional leadership, continuously evolving and expanding your capacity. Whether you're a CEO, founder, or senior leader, complacency kills performance. Growth requires reinvention. If you're new here, I'm Gene Hammett, CEO, coach, founder, and leadership development expert. We help executives and leadership teams create environments where people perform at their best, take ownership, and feel aligned with the mission. If you want to explore these ideas further without committing to a call, join my free training at training.corelevation.com. In about 90 minutes, we cover core principles, common mistakes, and the five steps to becoming a stronger, more intentional leader. To close today's episode, remember this: Being intentional is a superpower. Reactive leadership limits performance. A simple example comes from sales: smile before you dial. People can sense your energy even without seeing you. That's the intention at work. Imagine showing up 90–95% of the time as the leader you want to be decisive, focused, confident… or whatever traits matter most to you. One of my favorite examples from a client is the phrase: unshakably confident. Picture that being you. It's possible if you choose to lead with intention. If I can support you in any way, keep following our content, keep stepping up, and remember: when you think of growth and leadership, think of Growth Think Tank. Key Takeaways Great leadership never happens by accident it requires intention. Break the reactive work cycle by pausing to reflect on why you want to grow. Part 1: Define who you're being today that limits your leadership. Part 2: Define the leader you want to become (e.g., decisive, focused, confident). Writing your leadership identity on a simple card creates clarity and accountability. Intentionality is a leadership superpower that elevates performance and reduces overwhelm. "Smile before you dial" is a simple example of how intention shapes outcomes. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity.

The people who criticize your drive usually aren't doing enough themselves. In this episode, Baylor explains why your real growth starts when you set—and protect—your standards. Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee dives into the importance of separating goals from standards—and why the people who say you're "doing too much" are often the ones doing too little. Using real-life insight from his own routines and habits, Baylor challenges you to stop chasing goals that fade and start building standards that last. You'll learn how to define your personal baseline, avoid effort failures, and prepare yourself not just for the next level—but for two levels up. Because when you start living by standards instead of goals, excellence stops being something you reach for and starts being who you are. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why critics often project their own insecurities onto your ambition How to define your minimum standard in every area of life The difference between expectations, goals, and standards Why thinking two levels ahead guarantees growth How living by standards leads to consistency and long-term success Featured Quote: "Stop hoping to hit goals—decide to live by standards. Standards create habits, and habits create the life you want."

We blast off into the stratosphere with Hum's 1995 masterpiece You'd Prefer An Astronaut, the Champaign, Illinois band's sonic collision of shoegaze shimmer and bone-crushing sludge metal. While MTV latched onto "Stars," the album's real treasures lie in the deep space between those radio moments—massive, swirling guitar walls courtesy of Matt Talbott and Tim Lash that feel like entire galaxies collapsing in slow motion.

Anthropologist Adam Louis-Klein was in the Amazon on October 9th, when he went online and learned what had happened two days previously. Almost immediately, he also discovered something else: his left-wing colleagues in the academy were ready to ostracize him for his “filthy Zionist” views. Since then, Louis-Klein has turned his analytical eye toward anti-Zionism. In this conversation, he explains the ideology's history and how it continues to perpetuate itself through cycles of libel. He also breaks down the other greatest hits of left-wing academic jargon — settler-colonialism, genocide, occupation, etc. — along the way. And we all try to break ourselves out of the language games that prevent us from having a real conversation about what's happening, and not, in Gaza.

In this episode, I take a closer look at a topic that many BigLaw lawyers misunderstand: profitability. Most partners focus on the firm's overall "profits per equity partner" (PEP), but that number tells only part of the story. There are other profitability numbers - internal, often unseen analyses that many attorneys don't focus on but in fact shape how practices and partners are viewed, rewarded, and resourced. I explain how these shadow numbers differ from the publicly announced firm metrics, how factors like leverage, write-offs, and politics distort perceptions of profitability, and why understanding these differences can make a difference to you at your firm. Knowing how your firm evaluates profitability in different ways and how to influence those numbers is a crucial career advantage. At a Glance: 00:00 Introduction to the concept of firm profitability 01:20 Why PEP only tells part of the story and how shadow P&Ls work 02:05 How internal accounting and practice-level metrics shape profitability 03:27 Defining "shadow P&L" and how practice groups interpret performance differently 04:01 How leverage and write-offs impact profitability and risk across practices 07:14 Examples of approaches and how accounting treatments reshape profit 10:55 Why long-term relationship value can be less valued in firmwide numbers 12:18 How firms use both official and shadow P&Ls to evaluate partners and practices 13:30 How politics and perception influence profitability outcomes 15:17 How to challenge assumptions and advocate for your practice's true value 18:14 Final reflection and wrap-up Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?

In this episode, Julie tells Savannah all about the fallacies of women's fashion and how the sizing conventions between all the various online, retail, and high-end fashion designers seldom have a universal standard. Trying on a LARGE for one designer may seem like a size 10, but can also be an ego killer. Conversely, our existing women's fashion sizing ego can also cause us emotional stress. Find out how to leave the ego at the dressing room doors and find success in the dress that fits!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey. Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States.

Pastor Strader - Wednesday Night - 10.15.2025
Pastor Strader - Wednesday Night - 10.08.2025Holiness isn't bondage—it's sanctuary. Pastor teaches Kingdom Culture: justified by grace, then sanctified in heart and body as God's temple. Distinct from the world, protected by His standards, and patterned after His Word. Holiness is beautiful, powerful, and safe. (Ps 29:2; Rom 12:1–2; 1 Cor 3:16–17)“Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” (Ps. 29:2) In this teaching on Kingdom Culture, Pastor unpacks biblical holiness as sanctuary—a refuge, not bondage. From Genesis 2 to Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 3, and 2 Corinthians 7, he shows that God makes His people set apart—both inwardly (heart, motives) and outwardly (body, lifestyle)—because we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Holiness isn't about earning love; it's our love-response to grace—justification (moment) leading to sanctification (process). God sets the pattern for His house, gives standards for our protection, and calls us to live distinctly from the world. Bottom line: Holiness is beautiful, powerful, and safe—Kingdom culture on display.Key Scriptures: Ps 29:2; Gen 2:3; Lev 11:45; Rom 12:1–2; 1 Cor 3:16–17; 1 Cor 6:19–20; 2 Cor 7:1; 2 Cor 6:17.

Fresh off Valeria's dream trip to Peru, the two unpack everything from “Nobody Wants This” Season 2 and Kristen Bell's Instagram backlash, to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's surprising split. They debate modern marriage, from separate bedrooms to taking your spouse's last name, and share their thoughts on chivalry, “the princess treatment,” and who should pick up the bill. Valeria challenges Gary on talking about pop culture (who proudly doesn't keep up) and why sometimes, it's okay to care about the “dumb stuff.” It's a light, honest, and hilarious peek into how two very different minds see love, fame, and everyday life.

SummaryIn this episode of the Gird Up podcast, host Charlie Ungemach welcomes Pastor Matt Doebler, a missionary in Australia, to discuss the pressing issue of spiritual apathy among Christians.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter breaks down the science of dietary fiber, moving beyond the blanket advice to "eat more fiber" to uncover what it actually does in the body and where its benefits are truly supported by evidence. He explains how different types of fiber—soluble, insoluble, viscous, and fermentable—affect digestion, satiety, weight management, and glycemic control, and compares their impact to other, more potent metabolic tools. Peter also examines how certain fibers influence lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk, evaluates the strength of evidence for fiber's role in colorectal cancer prevention, and highlights why some individuals may not tolerate specific fibers well. The discussion concludes with practical guidance on moving past generic fiber targets toward a more strategic and personalized approach that maximizes the true benefits of fiber.

We discuss: Why it's time to re-examine the evidence behind dietary fiber recommendations [2:00]; Why it's hard to isolate fiber's true effects on health: the limits of nutritional epidemiology [5:45]; Defining dietary fiber: what it is, how it's digested, and why different types have different effects [8:15]; Understanding fiber properties: how solubility, viscosity, and fermentability shape its effects in the body [11:15]; Resistant starches explained: types, food sources, and how cooking and cooling influence their benefits [16:30]; A framework for evaluating each of the major health claims linked to fiber [19:15]; How fiber can support weight loss: mechanisms, realistic expectations, and its complementary role to broader dietary strategies [20:30]; How fiber modestly improves glycemic control by reducing glucose spikes and insulin demand [26:15]; How fiber modestly lowers LDL cholesterol and supports cardiovascular health [34:30]; How fiber compares to other available tools and strategies for managing lipids, blood sugar, and weight [42:00]; Fiber's role in colon cancer prevention: mechanisms, evidence, and limitations [45:30]; Is fiber necessary for colon cancer prevention in otherwise healthy individuals? [53:30]; Why some people have adverse reactions to certain types of fiber, and how to manage them [56:00]; A general strategy for dietary fiber: combine multiple fiber types through whole foods and supplements [58:45]; Why total fiber intake is more important than the ratio of soluble-to-insoluble fiber [1:02:45]; The optimal timing and context for consuming fiber to maximize blood sugar control and metabolic benefits [1:05:00]; How food processing affects the functional properties of fiber, the differences between supplement forms and natural sources, and why whole foods generally remain the best option [1:06:45]; Fiber's potential to interfere with medication absorption [1:09:30]; How to safely increase fiber intake: ramp up gradually and stay hydrated [1:12:00]; Final takeaway on fiber: modest benefits, strong rationale, low downside [1:13:00]; Peter's carve-out: lessons and inspiration from the Acquired podcast [1:14:30]; and More.

Vivi (Vicky), character design analyst and video essayist, joins the podcast to break down how fame is built, sold, and protected. After a clear-eyed look at the “next big thing” machine around actors like Mason Thames, we examine how Hollywood favors familiar, marketable faces, how race and colorism shape visibility, how listicles and PR language disguise old hierarchies as meritocracy, and why certain careers are pre-selected long before the audience thinks it has chosen.From there, we move into fame as a system through To Be Hero X, Oshi no Ko, and My Hero Academia: trust scores and hero towers, idol factories and weaponized fandom, rankings and school pipelines that turn human beings into managed brands. We connect how these stories show image as currency, audiences as enforcement, and corporations as the final arbiter of who is celebrated, discarded, or sacrificed.All this, plus the content creator pipeline, sponsorship logic, scandal management, selective cancellation, and what it means to live as a product in an attention economy that never switches off. This episode is direct, detailed, and unromantic about what modern fame demands—and what it quietly costs.0:00 – IntroShow open, “I've Been Meaning To Watch That” intro, this week's topic preview. 0:26 – Meet Vivi (Vicky)Vivi introduces herself, her character design work, and how she reads visual choices and tropes. 1:21 – Episode OverviewFraming the three texts (To Be Hero X, Oshi no Ko, My Hero Academia) and “fame as a system.” 2:07 – Media Mania: Mason Thames & Manufactured StarsVulture article, Mason Thames' three #1 films, “ordinary” palatable whiteness, comparison to Jim Carrey, Daniel Kaluuya, Mahershala Ali, Caleb McLaughlin vs co-stars, listicles, casting patterns, race and colorism in who gets momentum.25:00 – What Is Fame As A System?Defining fame beyond Hollywood: power in a name, internet volatility, person-to-product pipeline.36:29 – Enter To Be Hero X (Context + Why It Hits)Underrated status, production, anthology structure, trust value system, Hero Tower explained.40:53 – Style, Structure, and the Hero FactoryVisual language, hero/villain PR, reality show framing, shipping, consent, system manufacturing crime and narratives.51:05 – Trust vs Fear & Who Gets ProtectedHeroes as controlled assets, commission, balance of worship and terror, parallels to scandalous but untouchable figures. 1:12:04 – Oshi no Ko: Idol Industry and Weaponized ParasocialityPilot, reincarnation hook without plot spoiling, how the show dissects exploitation, image labor, fans as enforcement.1:54:04 – My Hero Academia: Hero Rankings and Marketable MoralitySeries summary, school-as-industry pipeline, quirks as brandable assets, Class 1-A vs 1-B, children groomed into a hero economy.2:22:15 – Endgame: Systems That Eat Their OwnClosing on endings discourse, systemic rot, why To Be Hero X reads like Oshi no Ko + MHA pushed to its logical conclusion. 2:31:48 – WatchlistUpcoming watches: Chainsaw Man movie, My Hero Academia catch-up, other anime on the radar.Vicky's Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/viviwithavTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@viviwithav2.0YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@viviwithavPodcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/

They explain how a qualified lead is someone who shows genuine interest, even if they are not ready to buy right away. The conversation explores the importance of clear marketing messages, effective follow-up, and nurturing relationships over time. They also highlight how understanding client lifetime value and cost of acquisition can guide smarter marketing decisions for long-term growth.Episode OutlineA qualified lead is someone showing interest, not necessarily someone ready to purchase.Many leads are lost due to poor follow-up and a lack of nurturing.Marketing messaging should clearly reflect what the gym offers and who it serves.Cold traffic can still convert at 10 to 15 percent with consistent follow-up.Focus on the lifetime value of clients instead of short-term ROI.Combine automation with personal communication to build stronger trust.Sustainable growth comes from clarity, effort, and a long-term approach.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Lead Quality vs. Lead Readiness in Gym Marketing03:51 Defining a Qualified Lead 08:07 The Role of Marketing Messaging11:43 The Importance of Follow-Up12:43 The Impact of Marketing Efforts on Revenue Growth17:44 The Role of Automation and Manual Intervention19:26 The Long-Term Value of Leads23:22 The Shift in Marketing StrategiesCall to ActionFollow Gym Marketing Made Simple for more conversations on how to attract better leads, strengthen client relationships, and grow consistently without losing focus on what matters most.Supporting Information

This podcast episode is a portion of a Zion Lab livestream discussing the challenges and best practices of bishop's wives as they support their husbands in their demanding calling. Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights The central topic of the conversation revolved around navigating the emotional, physical, and relational demands of the role, with a particular focus on combating the common feeling of loneliness and isolation experienced by the wives. The conversation provided practical tools for setting boundaries and lessons on delegation. Key Insights Loneliness and Entity Status: A common struggle is the feeling of loneliness, stemming from the bishop's need for strict confidentiality (preventing him from sharing heavy matters with his wife) and the public perception of the family as a "third person" or "entity," which can complicate social dynamics within the ward. The Need for Boundaries: Wives act as protectors of their husband's time and the marital relationship. They learn to set boundaries by directing members to approach the bishop directly rather than using the wife as a "back door" intermediary for requests or feedback. The 24-Hour Rule: Multiple participants recommended the practice of waiting up to 24 hours before responding to non-urgent communications. This method ensures that true emergencies are addressed while allowing non-urgent issues to often resolve themselves, freeing up the bishop's mental space and time. Delegation to Empower: Effective delegation is essential to lessen the bishop's burden. One participant emphasized fully empowering the elders quorum and Relief Society presidents to handle the adult members of the ward, allowing the bishopric to focus its primary attention on the youth. Defining the Role Through Priesthood Blessing: While the role is not a formal calling, it is sacred. Multiple participants recommended that the bishop or stake president give the wife a priesthood blessing to provide personal direction and spiritual clarity on her unique role and areas of focus. Finding Joy in Involvement: Wives can find connection by being involved on a family level. One participant shared that quarterly planning of creative Sacrament Meetings (e.g., Q&A sessions, open mics) with the entire bishopric and their wives led to a more exciting church experience for the congregation and increased her own joy. Leadership Applications Spiritual Support: Bishops should give their wives a priesthood blessing upon being called to help them understand their unique, inspired role and receive strength for the coming demands. Teach Proper Channels: Bishopric members and other ward leaders must teach members to utilize the proper channels for help, such as ministering brothers/sisters, rather than immediately contacting the bishop for non-confidential or non-urgent matters. Empower Quorum/RS Leadership: Leaders must fully empower and train the elders quorum and Relief Society presidencies to confidently lead the adults, reducing the bishopric's workload and allowing them to successfully focus on their primary responsibility of ministering to the youth. 00:03:00 - Experience with Sacrament Meeting Planning 00:05:00 - Involvement of Bishopric Wives 00:06:00 - Unique Sacrament Meeting Formats 00:08:00 - Navigating Involvement and Expectations 00:10:00 - Hyper-Awareness as a Bishop's Wife 00:12:00 - Setting Boundaries with Congregation 00:14:00 - Protecting the Bishop's Time 00:16:00 - Delegation Strategies for Bishops 00:18:00 - Balancing Family and Church Responsibilities 00:20:00 - Navigating Relationships with Ward Members 00:22:00 - Supporting a New Bishop 00:24:00 - Seeking Guidance and Blessings 00:26:00 - The Role of the Bishop's Wife 00:28:00 - Addressing Feelings of Loneliness The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latte...
In this illuminating first half of our deep-dive episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with the brilliant and provocative historian and YouTube creator, WhatifAltHist. Known for his cutting insights into cyclical history and alternative perspectives on societal collapse, WhatifAltHist brings a wealth of knowledge on philosophy, politics, and anthropology to the discussion. The conversation kicks off with a dissection of Nietzsche's “Age of the Last Man,” exploring how Western civilization is at a crossroads characterized by complacency, lack of cultural transmission, and a dangerous loss of ambition. Part one focuses on the unraveling of shared cultural myths, the impact of rapid societal change, and why every historic society similar to ours has met with revolution. The duo investigate the destructive influence of Marxism and modern ideologies on social cohesion, what happens when traditional cultural frameworks erode, and the economic crises intersecting with culture. If you're curious about how historical patterns, economic choices, and ideological battles shape our present moment, this segment will ground you in the underlying forces of our age.
